A process of extending sets which can be used as foundation for an alternative organization for Differential and Integral Calculus is presented.
An alternative organization for Differential and Integral Calculus, based on an extension of real numbers that include infinitesimal and infinite quantities, is presented. Only Elementary Set Theory is used, without reference to methods or results from Mathematical Logic.
A simultaneous extension of real numbers set and the class of real functions is discussed.
It is shown that theories already presented as rigorous mathematical formalizations of widespread manipulations of Dirac's delta function are all unsatisfactory, and a new alternative is proposed.
